I'm not sure we've even carried out any meaningful attacks in the past week or so.

Trump sounds like Kim Jong Un just saber rattling.

We will sanction them to death while we rebuild their country trying to force them into democracy which will just cost us more and more. Once congress gets rich enough from that we will halfassed withdraw and nothing will actually have been accomplished.

We need to nuke Iran so they can't build a nuke.

Because if Iran built a nuke then they would go and nuke someone.

Only we get to do that.

My point is, if you're going to do it, do it. Quit half assing around.

Right, but he doesn’t have support from the rest of the government or the American people to do it

We're whole assing it and can't budge them.

Not sure what everyone thinks we can do differently unless you want to try a land invasion of a country twice the size of Iran or Afghanistan. And not have any international backing while doing it.

No one, including Trump, has it in them to do it.

He should and would, in my opinion, no longer be president of the country if he did something like that. This conflict has something like a 30% approval rating. The overwhelming majority of people who voted for him did not vote for this, or some obliteration of Iran and the people there. If he did what you are saying the shitstorm that would unfold in this country would be a sight to behold

Worse than what almost the entire planet does to North Korea?


NORKs have two things going for them that Iran doesn't:

1. A land umbilical from China that can supply 100% of the country's needs. The land umbilical to Iran is long, restrictive, and can't supply anything like 100% of their needs.

2. The NORKs had been eating grass to survive with no outside world connections for nearly half a century when the main global sanctions kicked in to try to stop their nuke program. Iran had internet, and a semi-function civilization before all this. Their population will not submit so easily.

This operation has a low approval rating because we half-assed it and now it looks like there's no end. If we had gone balls to the wall from the get go, no pausing for "negotiations", destroy everything above ground level until they beg for mercy; the American people would be fully on board.
